No one expected the missing ship to return. It happened 90 years later!
Imagine the shock of the Cuban Coast Guard when they discovered a ship at sea that had been missing for almost a century. Naturally, the ship was already crewless.
Experts who conducted the inspection said that it was a famous American steamship, which in 1925 got into the Bermuda Triangle and disappeared.
The appearance of the unknown vessel was recorded in the Caribbean Sea on 16 May. Then it appeared in the forbidden zone for navigation, but nobody could contact the crew. To clarify the circumstances, patrol boats were sent to the steamer. They had to check the situation.
The border guards were shocked when they approached the ship. It was very old and completely rusty. They examined it and realised that the crew was missing. After inspecting the area, it was learnt that the steamship had been abandoned for decades.
After the work of the expert team, it became clear that this was the return of a legend. The ship found almost a hundred years ago was caught in the Bermuda Triangle. Its secret disappearance was on everyone’s lips at the time, but suddenly the SS. ‘Cotopaxi’ returned.
A diary of the ship’s captain was found on board. The authenticity of this document was confirmed by the Cuban expert R. C. Salvador. He stated that this diary contained much valuable information about the life of the crew, but nothing about the disappearance and stay in the Bermuda Triangle area.
The diary documented all the details of the journey up to the point of disappearance. The last entry was left on 1.12.1925. That’s when the ship disappeared. It gave a distress signal and disappeared from all radar altogether. For over 90 years, the SS. ‘Cotopaxi’ for over 90 years. It was simply thought to be missing because there was no concrete evidence.
When the SS. ‘Cotopaxi’ set sail from the port of Charleston, there were 32 sailors on board. Meyer was appointed captain. The ship was to deliver coal to Havana, but two days later stopped making contact.
Since there had been no information about the ship for 90 years, the vice-president of the Cuban Council of Ministers promised that he would investigate. He wanted to solve the mystery of the disappearance of this secret ship.
It should be recalled that the SS. ‘Cotopaxi’ was not the only object that disappeared in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. Dozens of ships and aircraft have disappeared in this zone, the history of which will forever remain a mystery. Ufologists believe that supernatural forces are involved in the disappearance. Perhaps even aliens, because there is no reasonable explanation for this phenomenon.
Scientists, of course, reject this version. They believe that the objects disappear because of control errors. Also do not deny the influence of natural phenomena that worsen visibility and controllability of transport.
However, the appearance of SS. ‘Cotopaxi’ caused a real resonance in society. Many experts are forced to revise their theories and once again return to the subject of the Bermuda Triangle. There is no way to link control problems, human errors and natural disasters.
